10 Enchanting Spots In Montana You Never Knew Existed

There’s so much natural beauty to discover in Montana that you could spend a lifetime here and never see it all. In fact, some of our most enchanting spots are the least well known. Here are some places that only the most seasoned Montana explorer might know about.

Some of the larger bodies of water like Swiftcurrent Lake are the most popular in the park, but Akokala Lake is a hidden gem. There is also a quiet, peaceful, rarely occupied 11 mile trail that wraps around it.

Montana has a rainforest! You’ll find the Yaak Valley way up in the northwest corner. Along with the large family of trees that love low elevation and plenty of rain, you’ll see plenty of wildlife there.

The picturesque cliffs that surround Billings are a beautiful sight, but what many people don't know is that there are numerous ways to explore them. Phipps Park, located just west of Billings off Molt Road, is a great option.
